What bolt do I need here, my ford dealer has no clue!

[Bike007b]

I want to mount a fire extinguisher here but need the bolts.
Ford dealer in Las Vegas has no idea, 2 parts guys couldn’t figure it out.
they literally said it was an after market part.
Please help.

They are correct. Ford does not make a bolt designed to go there.

Not something you need to buy from Ford, get'm at any hardware store, They are M8 1.25 thread.

Don't mount a fire extiguister there, its useless due to the spare tire unless your top is off. You want a fire extiguister to be accessible because seconds matter.

Yep, I use these from McMaster Carr for my Traction Board Brackets
"18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Screws Black Oxide, M8 x 1.25 mm Thread, 20 mm Long"

I mounted an Element extinguisher to the driver's side bracket.

As others have noted, any M8 x 1.25 bolts will work. But those holes are used for the brace on the Raptor so I’m sure Ford has a specific bolt for it.

Stainless button head hex sockets in the size posted above. Easily accessible by opening the tail gate without lifting the soft top or HT window.

Not the best place to mount one, but it's better to have a fire extinguisher that takes a few extra seconds to access than not have one at all...

Nice. Did they line up with the bracket, or did you have to modify it?

This bugged me as well. It makes it look so unrefined. I got some nice M8 torx stainless bolts and nylon washers to fill the holes.

Then I stumbled into these bolts that are a quarter of what the stainless ones costed and look more stock and should fit as well.

I’m sure I drilled at least one hole in the metal extinguisher mount bracket.

If you got the on board storage bags they will give you a eye bolt that the bag clips to. They came with mine
